Letter to Aileen from her Daddy!

Dear Aileen,

Daddy Loves you.  AnneMarie, Allison, and John love you also.  But Mommy loves you the most!  Mommy and I hope you know that.

You are very special to us and not because of your handicap.  You teach us daily about patience, trust, and love of simple every day things like a drink of pop, a hamburger, lasagna, a kiss on the cheek, patty cake, and laughter out of the blue.

We know you have a giant spirit and someday we all will get to see that.  But for now know that you are loved by many people including your Father in Heaven, Jesus Christ, and all of your family members.

Love, Daddy
